Hello all,
     Here is my build of a Madbeans Cave Dweller "Dub Edition". The "dub" part, for those that don't know, means there are 2 PT2399 chip in this design. This cam out a few years ago and I've wanted to build one for a while. This thing has delay for DAYS! It's also nice and DARK too!. You could say that it's in an over sized enclosure too, considering it was designed for a 1590A. This one is in a 1590BB. So, here it is. I etched the PCB and Dminner etched the enclosure. I'll get a video up soon.









Thanks for looking!

I think Dan might be getting kind of good at etching. :P

Looks great! Interesting cap choice. Are they all ceramic?
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

No most are MLCC caps (so in a sense yes). I've build a couple regular cave dwellers and didn't notice any sonic difference between how they sound. Well...except the fact that this one has WAY more delay.

Very cool. I like that etch

That came out great. Love that etch!

I have the exact circuit etched on black copper clad also..

It's not an oversized enclosure. You needed more room for all the mojo!

Honestly I didn't think i was going to like it. But as soon as i started playing through it...I don't see this ever leaving my board.

That is how I normally operate.  Determine the size needed, and then go up two sizes.  Because the bigger the knobs the better it sounds.

I wish I could take credit for the enclosure but it's all Dminner really. He said he was gonna get weird with it and I said go Frank Reynolds on it (always sunny reference). The Bezels I believe I got from newark. I've got a bunch of them. if you need a few PM me and I can post some across the pond for you.

oip

that etch is like.. 12/10.  just fantastic
